Mightyoak is the website of Roby Greenwald

This site is mostly a photo repository, but I occasionally post other information here as well.


The most popular page on this site is Yénu bwãndo, a body of work produced in 2003-2004. This series illustrates the oral history of the village of Arbonga, Benin. I lived in this village while I was a Peace Corps volunteer from 1995 to 1998.

I receive a lot of questions about the photos or the oral history in this series, so I've set up a page to answer some of these questions as best I can. If you've got a question, please e-mail it to me.

I should have done this a long time ago, but I just recently added a page that recounts a story told to me by my friend Easy. Easy was an Igbo merchant who ran an electronics shop in Banikoara, Benin. In 2004, he was killed in a taxi accident while on a business trip to Nigeria. This is the story of "How Easy Met his Wife."

I added a new page of panoramic images from various locations around the world.

A few weeks before our wedding, we staged a photo-shoot at a state park southeast of Atlanta. A few of these photos are posted here. I had previously done a similar shoot for my friends Steve and Lish's wedding.




Here's a page with some information and photos from a research expedition to the Greenland Ice Sheet. I assisted with this project during my final year of graduate school at Georgia Tech.

Here's an animation of a 3-D piece I did for the "Patriots and Renegades" show in 2004.
